This study developed a scale to measure the nursing competence of Japanese registered nurses and to test its psychometric properties. Following the derivation of scale items and pilot testing, the final version of the scale was administered to 331 nurses to establish its internal consistency, as well as its construct and criterion-related validity. Using an exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis, 36 items with a five-factor structure were retained to form the Holistic Nursing Competence Scale. These factors illustrate nurses' general aptitude and their competencies in staff education and management, ethical practice, the provision of nursing care, and professional development. The Scale has a positive correlation with the length of clinical experience. A Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.967. The Scale is a reliable and valid measure, helping both nurses and organizations to correctly evaluate nurses' competence and identify their needs for professional development.
本研究旨在开发一种用于评估日本注册护士护理能力的量表，并检验其心理测量学特性。在对量表条目进行推导和预试验后，最终版量表被用于 331 名护士，以评估其内部一致性、结构和效标关联效度。通过探索性和验证性因子分析，保留了具有五因素结构的 36 个条目，形成了整体护理能力量表。这五个因素反映了护士的一般能力以及在员工教育和管理、伦理实践、护理提供和专业发展方面的能力。该量表与临床经验的长短呈正相关，克朗巴赫α系数为 0.967。该量表是一种可靠且有效的测量工具，有助于护士和组织正确评估护士的能力，并确定他们的专业发展需求。
